There should be a teacher on every school board…
and at every table where education decisions are made.
Because right now, we’re making policies for classrooms
without the people who actually live in them.
You wouldn’t design a hospital system without doctors.
You wouldn’t build a plane without pilots.
But in education…
we leave teachers out of the room

@PeytonMANNY @Yankees Seems like my daughter’s birthday is 4/5 so we bought tickets for that day 🤷🏻‍♀️go figure. We did expect the rain but no delay was called until we literally got in our seats.

Attempted to celebrate my daughter’s birthday with a game @Yankees but can’t wait for a three hour delay. Will be back home before the game even begins.

Yesterday at 10 am my friend asked if we were free for the day. We were! Happy Home Opener!

😱 Here's one strategy T @lbmb62997 uses to take some of the fright factor out of math class:

@DrGeorge_MU This is exactly what you did for all of us, Dr. George. I am lucky to have met you.

[Linda Bortnick, EdD @lbmb62997]

@ScottRRocco @LinkedIn This is so spot on. I have had conversations with so many people along the same lines as your article.

@DrGeorge_MU Congratulations!

After a week of over 50 conferences, with a bunch more waiting for next week, this is my idea of a perfect Friday evening.

Such a gift to spend an evening with my parents.

Some students will walk in on the first day of school with brand-new shoes, a sharpened pencil, a smile, and a summer full of fun memories—campfires, swimming, travel, and laughter.

Others will walk in with shoes that have holes in them, no supplies, a frown on their face, and an empty look in their eyes—carrying the weight of things they’ll never tell us.

Some will act like they don’t care at all… but secretly hope we do.

The start of a school year is our chance to remind every single one of them: you matter here, you belong here, and this year, we’ll write a story worth remembering—together.

A great overnight to Lancaster to see Air Supply, complete with lots of Mah Jong, a horse and buggy ride, and a visit to an Amish bakery.
